A suspect arrested in the City Heights neighborhood on an outstanding warrant and misdemeanor drug paraphenalia charges is cuffed and led away in a patrol car. This is the 13th Operation Tip the Scale in the last 4 years. The founding principle of the operations is that drug-related problems can't be fought solely making arrests so suspects are given the opportunity to speak with drug treatment providers the night of their arrest.
